A progressive tax of 90% of all income earned over $400,000 is a great idea. These tax dollars can be used to decrease wealth inequality and economic stratification in society and contribute to welfare programs for those living in poverty. Plus 99% of society can't complain because they are living below this tax bracket. Everyone has a low chance to become a top earner but with welfare programs those at the bottom can still survive.

You say equal but it is inherently unequal when there are poor struggling to survive. Being at the top with 400,000 income earned will allow the elites to live comfortably.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic, but I just want to point out that these top income earners are not working much harder than the rest of society. Corporations treat the working class as a labor commodity that is dispensable. The working class generates the profit. There is no reason the wealth should not be shared among society.

And the CEO's are EARNING 400000 under this system. They are still living more comfortably than the janitors. The inequality is just not as horrible as it is now.

Under this system we can reap the benefits of a free market without having corporations growing so powerful they create monopolies and we can have social welfare programs to prevent poverty.

coejoe that's pretty bad, the tax rate should be different for the income someone brings in, they may have mental disabilities that in-able them to do different jobs that could bring in more wealth, poor people shouldn't be as heavily taxed as rich people, it differ's from person to person...

You are trying to make it sound like taxing the rich more is discrimination. The true travesty is to allow socioeconomic inequality prevent our egalitarian society from ending poverty in America.

dont the CEO's deserve to be there

they decided to be smart and start a buisness, and it got them that money.

if the government took it away just because they are rich is dumb.

Plus the lowest tax brackets have to survive off of their income and the more you tax the less they have. Society does not need an economic elite with such a large disparity.

Yes I promote socialist economic policies.

The 9 - 5 work day and 5 day work week was a socialist policy. The minimum wage laws and child labor laws were all progressive socialist policies. You support economic stratification in society and you are an elitist.

And once this is implemented the government needs to tax estate taxes at 90% as well to diminish the ruling classes wealth.

"ceo of a company compared to a janitor doesn't equate to same salary but they should pay the same taxes"

This makes no sense.

If a wealthy person is to be taxed the same as someone who lives in poverty, two things can happen.

1. You make it so that the tax is huge which will compensate the wealthy for their earnings, which will in turn suffocate those in poverty conditions because they cannot pay that much.

2. You make it so the tax is low which will compensate those in poverty for their earning, which will in turn barely affect the wealthy because they can pay the tax with the money in their back pocket.


You cannot tax everyone the same because not everyone has the same salary.

You are supporting societal stratification and wealth disparity. You are an elitist scum. The wealthy can live comfortably with 400000 dollars.

That makes sense, does it not? If someone has more money, you should tax them more (of course, not overtax) because they can afford to be taxed more.

It would allocate that money to programs that are not getting enough attention, such as education, veterans affairs, NASA, etc.

The money won't go anywhere else because they are already using the money needed towards things that are important like the military.
